Why a search engine that scans your face is dangerous : NPR

Imagine strolling down a busy city street and snapping a photo of a stranger then uploading it into a search engine that almost instantaneously helps you identify the person.

This isn't a hypothetical. It's possible now, thanks to a website called PimEyes, considered one of the most powerful publicly available facial recognition tools online.

That website is pretty neat. Works well for me with all the pictures of me on the blog, lol.

The GeoParquet Ecosystem at 1.0.0 | Cloud-Native Geospatial Foundation

One of the things I’m most proud of about GeoParquet 1.0.0 is how robust the ecosystem already is. For the 1.0.0 announcement, I started to write up all the cool libraries and tools supporting GeoParquet, and the awesome data providers who are already providing interesting data in the spec. But I realized it would at least double the length of the blog post to do it justice, so I decided to save it for its own post.
